On March the tenth at around 2:41ish my rabbit Peter died. It was so sad, and when I saw his little body in the box that the vets put him in, I broke down crying. I'm pretty sure he died of old age, but still. :(

Here's the story:
He was pretty sick and we took him to the vet and they did tests and gave him antibiotics and medicines and special food. On the ride home he was eating hay, and at the first stoplight he stopped eating and put his head down and hunched his shoulders like twice and we drove back to the vet's and they did everything they could, CPR, tubes on and on, but then he just died. :(
 
oh im so sorry, how old was he? he knew you loved him, tbh this is a good place to come if youve lost a pet because we all know how you feel while many other people may not. binky free little peter x
 
Thats awful news sorry for your loss. Old age catches up with us all unfortunately just be happy in the knowledge you provided him with a life full of love, cuddles and happiness xxx
 
thank you guys so much for caring :cry:

BTW: MissySJ, he was nine years old

Everyone: How old are your rabbits???

my two are just babies 10 & 9 months... i cant imagine the hole they would leave if they got to 9 years old...

i hope your coping ok xxxxx
 
I have one at 6 months, one at about 14 months, and one somewhere between 2 and 4yrs. I can imagine how you feel, I've lost pets ad they leave such a hole, especially if they are old.

It sounds like you loved him very much - what a lucky bunny he was to have had someone like you looking after him.
I hope in time you'll just be left with all the good memories that you shared with your little bun.
Linus & Selma send hugs xx
